Overall it was a great place, very convenient and comfortable and good space. Would stay again!
Pros:

The rooms where great very clean and comfortable and the joint room was great for our family

Cons:

The doors between the room wouldn’t stay open and would get locked out, would be good to have door stoppers or somthing to help keep them open. The bins were also very small when traveling with a family this became very tricky. Would be good to have bigger bins or another spot to get rid of rubbish.

Comfy bed. Convenience was great. The staff in the restaurant were lovely, but they had to apologise far too often for t
Pros:

Proximity to the airport.
Very comfy bed
Great shower

Cons:

Our restaurant experience was not the greatest. Due to illness one restaurant was closed. The restaurant that was open was not serving the special (ribs) as advertised and had been looked forward to by us all. The second choice was also not available. We ended up going to an airport eatery. Then the breakfast buffet, we were told it was available until 9:30?? But were told to get there early as they may run out of food. 😳

Perfect overnight spot for quick access to the airport
Pros:

You can't get closer to the airport than this. It's so handy for late arrivals and early departures. You can watch the air traffic taking off and landing while you eat in the restaurant, or you can take a short walk to Moa Point and be right at the end of the runway. If you have a south facing room, you can also watch the ferries heading over to South Island.

Cons:

The sound proofing between rooms and between the room and corridor was not the best, with other people arriving and departing at odd hours.
